  • Patent number: 7699983
    Abstract: A swimming pool skimmer which has two independent pieces, a first piece and a second piece, fixed to one another orientably. The first piece forms a first guide tunnel for water in the swimming pool and has a first axis of symmetry in its longitudinal direction. The second piece has a body with a cylindrical wall and has a second axis of symmetry in its longitudinal direction. The first and second pieces are suitable for being fixed to one another in several possible angular positions in which the inclination, between the first and second axes at the level of the first and second pieces, varies from 90° to 90°+? max when the first axis, at the level of the first piece, has an inclination varying from the horizontal to an angle ? max below the horizontal, the second axis being vertical.

  • Publication number: 20090267344
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a swimming pool water pump having connection couplings for connection to fluid flow piping for the purpose of circulating a fluid, preferably for a swimming pool or for a swimming bath, at the fluid suction orifice of the pump and/or at the fluid delivery orifice of the pump, said pump having at least one said connection coupling integrated into the pump at the said delivery orifice or at the said suction orifice, said coupling having a spherical ball ending in an inclined cylindrical tubular end-piece suitable for inter-fitting with the end of a said fluid flow pipe, so that the axis of said cylindrical end-piece of said spherical ball coupling can pivot in all directions through an angle ? varying from ??max to +?max relative to the axis of said delivery orifice or of said suction orifice of the pump, where ?max is at least equal to 20°, preferably lies in the range 25° to 60°, and more preferably lies in the range 30° to 45°.
